Sorry, I pitched it out since it was the same as the email.  Fromwhat I can remember, it was from Frank...telling us that they would be "informing" us of the new pay plan, etc that all the upper crust have worked so hard on "after" getting so much MT input.

Bottom line though, IMO, it was more to do about document preservation for the attorneys on all the legal issues...even had a note from the atty's on what is/is not important. 

The snail mail came from corporate and again, I just got mine Saturday..so maybe yours will be there this week

The pros so far for me as an IC are setting my own schedule and no set times I have to work, just getting my lines in for the day

Please make sure what *YOU* think IC means is also what your service means.  For many services it means- I can make you work like I need you to but don't have to incur headache or expense of withdrawing and submitting taxes.

If you are a TRUE IC, you go out and get your own CLIENTS, and make up your own schedule, etc.  When you are working for an MT service you are NOT an IC.  You're a statutory employee and still don't get to name your own hours apparently.  Please see my post above.

it is overflow and not be told there would be plenty of work.  Can't pay bills some weeks and not others.  Work being offshored takes away from US line counts any way you slice it.  No thanks.

Years ago, I worked for a company here in Georgia by the same name.  They hired for physician and dentist's offices at that time, different types of medical fields/specialties.  They only had in-house positions at that time, but I guess they have changed since most transcription is done via the internet now.  I also had a girlfriend who was a dental assistant who worked with them.  She stayed pretty busy and never had any complaints either.  Hope this helps.

Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions

posted here?

I've read quite a few posts about recruiting lately, and I have a question.

I have three teens, myself, and my husband in the house. When any of us have applied for a job we don't expect a response if we don't meet the employers needs. From applications to Starbuck's, to Abercrombie, to the Department of Energy, to private research and develoment firms, to major and minor MTSOs, none of us feel slighted if our responses aren't responded to EVER, much less immediately. So, I'm having trouble understanding the sense of entitlement that some MTs seem to have regarding what they are owed from recruiters. Have these people never applied for any other jobs? Do the same people complain if the corner Quik-Mart doesn't respond to them promptly regarding a cashier position? Is there something wrong with companies simply deciding not to hire on the MTSOs timeline, or hiring ever? I just don't get the sense of they owe me that seems to run through the thought processes.

My husband makes well over $100,000 a year, my kids make well under $3000 a year, and none of them (nor me) expect a response if we don't fit the needs of the company. So, what gives with  these MTs, and why is a response demanded by them in this industry, but seemingly no other? 

would have leads on companies who might not want to post an ad for some reason and that I could find something paying better, etc.   They represented 2 companies I think, one of which I had already tested for, been offered a position, and rejected it.  They knew this but wanted me to go through the process again.  I did and they offere me the same thing that I was offered before and I again turned down the position and then never heard from the recruiting company again.  It was the same company mentioned by someone else.

I recommend posting your resume on all the free job boards and also applying to any company that meets your needs, as far as employee/IC and hours, etc.  

I have posted my resume before and got probably a dozen responses, most of which I weeded out right away due to low offers.  I tested for a few and was offered positions with all of them and even took one of the offers, but that company eventually went out of business.  I posted my resume again and months went by with not even 1 offer, and then several months later I got a few offers.  You just never know what the response will be. 

how do you find jobs ?  Do not see a lot of postings for recruiters.  Thanks.

for the Editor position?

I took a test that took an hour.  A recruiter contacted me to interview on the phone.  Another 35 minutes.  Then I was told that I would take another specialty test.  Then after that the people at a specific MD IT location would like to talk to me.  I spent one hour and 35 minutes.  I cannot see spending more time than that without being able to ask some dang questions like what the pay is... recruiter did not know, only that it was by the audio hour!!!???  No info about scheduling.

Are we so desperate that we will give a company 2 hours of our time without knowing what is in it for the slave?

This is crap!

I  also work for Focus Infomatics,  I mean worked.  I have been working for months.  They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line.  as compared to other companies, that is very low.  Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice.  I am very disappointed with them.  I also thought they were good in the beginning.  They are not very professional.  I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.
